• IBM FIPS Provider 140-3 with TLSv1.3 Support

  With Fix Pack 2, Remote Control Server is using the IBM Java JCE FIPS 140-3 Cryptographic Module (IBMJCEPlusFIPS). The FIPS 140-3 cryptographic security standard from the US government supersedes the previous version, FIPS 140-2 standard. With the adoption of the IBM Java JCE FIPS 140-3 Cryptographic Module the Remote Control Server now supports FIPS with TLS 1.3.

  The usage of NIST SP 800-131A has been deprecated.

• Hostname Verification

  With Fix Pack 2, Remote Control Server now performs hostname verification on SSL certificates. This means that the runtime checks to make sure that the hostname or IP address from the component certificate's Subject Alternative Name (SAN) matches the hostname or IP address used when establishing the connection. New configuration properties are available to accommodate certificates that do not pass this verification step. For more information, refer to Hostname verification for Liberty.

• Serviceability Enhancements

  With Fix Pack 2, a new warning message is added into the Remote Control server log file if Derby is used as DBMS in order to make the Administrator aware that it is only recommended for Proof of Concept deployments.
